Yup. That’s been discussed throughout the series run. The gals on the show somehow have money to burn AND all the free time to socialize AND never seem to spend much time working out.

AND have all these alpha males slobbering after them at their ages.

Jerry and George had some really hot girlfriends on Seinfeld too. Every episode it was someone new.

Kind of like when Monica the chef-in-training and Rachel the clerical worker had that great, huge Manhattan apartment filled with high priced items in “Friends,” complete with gourmet meals all the time and fabulous vacations.

Soaps do the same stuff (it’s why there are so many doctors and whatnot), but it’s to take the viewer away from the mundane. A daily soap with a single mom struggling to pay the bills isn’t really fun to watch. That’s all fine, but it’s these movies and TV shows that ‘transcend’ the genre that get us. They actually purport to teach the rest of us about how we should behave, based on all this fakery. The nerve of these people is pretty interesting.

television portrays young people living in large cities as beautiful, rich, seemingly never doing work let alone cleaning,dusting, paying bills, cooking , doing laudry...etc...

"Friends"..."Desparate Housewives"...Seinfield"..."Sex"...etc....

they are as realistic as it is for us to believe that men can keep it up until they're old or dead...they can't without some artifical "help"....

so women are portrayed unrealistically.....so are the men....
